Review from Michael L.

I went a few weeks ago, considering the lack of indonesian/malaysian restaurants in the GTA this came off as being good. It is a shame that their location is in a slight depression making it very difficult to notice this restaurant if you aren't paying attention.
I ordered the green seafood curry with a large spiciness factor, they managed to make it decently spicy. The distribution of seafood in the curry was good and the texture was on the firm side could have been left on the stove a bit longer but it is acceptable.
I got the chicken skewers which were a modified form of sate. they claimed it would be very spicy, but I found it was maybe a medium at most.
As for the drink I chose to get the mango milk shake (it was a while ago so I'm not sure what it was called on the menu) and I found this to be quite good if a bit too sweet.
Obviously due to the lack of density, the price of making these foods is higher considering the serving sizes. The overall price for the lunch combo was ~$15.
Overall, I would go here again. I can only hope that there is an expansion of this food niche to bring the prices down. -

Bali has steadily become better (if that is even possible) because I CAN confirm the (very) occasional presence of an English-speaking waitress! Jokes aside, as I slowly become a regular, I find the service level goes up and the mistakes go down drastically. The owner apparently also does a part-time job working at Fairchild TV and when she finishes there for the day she goes here to open her restaurant. Hats off to her for that!
I've come back many times since my initial reviews, steadily bringing family and friends, and as we've become regulars, we are treated as old friends. This is a very positive trait because restaurants often take their older customers for granted.
New things to tell you:
- Wasn't able to take pictures of the menu that were good quality but could share that they also have a combo for 4 for $48 that includes four soups (choice of TomYum or coconut chicken...BOTH ARE VERY GOOD), green mango salad, grilled chicken, choice of curry, pad thai, and choice of fried rice (I recommend the salted fish fried rice)
- Restaurant has gotten steadily busier, I guess word is starting to spread
- They also have a combo for 6 for $72, and when we ordered that once (there was 6 of us), the owner threw in an extra dish on the house. APPROVE.
Yep, Bali's gotten better in my books :)
Now if I could actually find a real Indonesian restaurant in Toronto before I become a middle-aged man.....Listed in: DKLo's Cheap Eats

Lunch Specials at Bali Restaurant are good value from $4.99 includes a drink or from $6.99 includes a appetizer.
Singapore Laksa with milk tea ($6.99)
- Dear friends, that is the real colour of the soup based.. without me photoshopped it!
- Lack the spiciness and really really lame.. does have a rich taste of coconut milk without much curry taste
- I know, you said I should have request more spicy..but this Laksa is definitely a modified versions that fit the Chinese palate
- portion wise a little small... really small in fact!
- Milk tea was served lukewarm... and presweetened
Pad Thai with Mango Salad ($7.50)
- Mango Salad nicely done, great use of coriander.. and the mango being in season makes this a great dish
- Pad Thai is sizable.. and served pipping hot! I really enjoyed that...but as usual it was the food I ordered today..someone else food tasted so much better!
I would suggest for Lunch Specials, stick with the rice dishes and fried noodles dishes.. the soup noodle will leave you feeling hungry and you might have to go for a second lunch!!Listed in: Lunch Specials in Richmond…, Asian "Con"Fusion!

Review from Joe H.

This is one of the little restaurants that have opened up around the Beaver Creek business area that pretty much exclusively cater's to the business crowd. I'm pretty sure they've opened recently.
First thing upon entering, they're decor is pretty damn nice. I mean, fresh out of an ikea catalog and everything brand new. Guess they did just open recently.
I ordered the beef satay's, beef curry, and a singapore soup noodle thing. We also had a "chow gwei diew" on the table as well (sorry, have no idea what this actually was on the menu). The meals also came with a soup which was a "tom yum gong" soup. This was meh, a little too sour for my taste, but I guess this is how it's supposed to be. I'm not really a giant fan of that soup.
The beef satay seemed like it was tenderized way too much to the point where it felt like I was eating chicken. The singapore soup noodle thing was ok, it wasn't anything special. It was kinda neat that they used clear glass noodles as well as vermicelli, but other than that, I've had better.
The "chow gwei diew" which was kinda like a tomato based pad thai kind of thing was BRUTAL. I mean, it only took one whiff to know that the thing had about half a cup of ketchup in it. Not good. We didn't have more than 2 bites of this stuff.
Now I'm not really one for service, but this place didn't have any. It's like the people that operated it just all of a sudden started up a restaurant without knowing how to run it or serve people. I'm talking about waiting 30 minutes between dishes coming out and leaving dishes all over the place.
Am I ever coming back? Nope. -

S'alright
Friday lunch had only 4 parties, never a great sign. We ordered Red and Green Curry, they were a 6/10. The soup was pretty good, although a portion almost enough for a parakeet.
Service was very friendly, they definately wanted to ensure a good experience. So it all comes down to how you like your Curry...
